“We are excited to collaborate with MAVEN Developments as part of our continued commitment to developing the game of basketball at the grassroots level in Egypt. MAVEN shares our commitment to inspiring the next generation of young people to be better leaders and teammates on the court and in their communities,” Soliman noted.

“Every MAVEN project is designed to empower our residents and to help them achieve and exceed their ambitions,” he stated.

MAVEN Development believes that life is made up of moments formed by the places they take place.  One of the things they have been keen on is always looking for the worth of the important things, like providing more sporting chances for Egyptian children.

The MAVEN co-founder added that partnering with the NBA is exciting. The partnership expands upon the league’s earlier efforts in Cairo, which included the opening of the NBA Egypt office earlier this year.
